Rocky Linux is a free, open-source, enterprise ready operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code. It’s designed as CentOS successor which have been killed of by Red Hat last year. So, if you are currently searching for Linux-based enterprise operating system you can stick to Rocky Linux OS.
Well, today we will guide you step by step on how to install Apache, MariaDB, and PHP 8.1 on Rocky Linux 8.5 (or commonly known as LAMP Stack in the web hosting industry). We will use cheap $5 droplet from Digital Ocean to deploy LAMP stack for development only. So, before moving into the installation step, make sure to meet the following requirenments.
PRE-REQUISITES:
* VPS, Cloud, or Bare-Metal Server * Running on Rocky Linux OS 8.5 * Server IPv4 Address * Superuser Privileges (Sudo Access) * Gnome Terminal for Linux Desktop * PuTTy SSH Client for Windows or Mac * Powershell for Windows 10/11
1.) Perform System Update
On the first step don’t forget to perform system update in order to get the latest stable available packages and software from the official OS vendor. Stay calm, you can use either “yum” or even “dnf” commands on modern operating system based on RHEL source code.
A.) Login to your VM via SSH terminal
$ ssh [email protected] [email protected]'s password:
B.) Then perform system update

6.) Securing MariaDB Environments
After that don’t forget to securing your MariaDB database server environments using the following commands. Don’t forget to set the MariaDB root password during Securing MariaDB Environments. Since we haven’t set the correct root password for MariaDB administrative account on the previous installation step.
PLEASE NOTE: Started from MariaDB 10.4.6, mariadb-secure-installation is a symlink to mysql_secure_installation. While mariadb-secure-installation is a binary name of mysql_secure_installation (as symlink of it) started from MariaDB version 10.5.2. So we should use mariadb-secure-installation to perform securing environments for MariaDB 10.6 database server.
$ mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY! In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here. Enter current password for root (enter for none): "SIMPLY PRESS ENTER ON THIS STEP" OK, successfully used password, moving on... Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation. You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'. Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] n ... skipping. You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'. Change the root password? [Y/n] y New password: "NEW MARIADB ROOT PASSWORD HERE" Re-enter new password: "NEW MARIADB ROOT PASSWORD HERE" Password updated successfully! Reloading privilege tables.. ... Success! By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for them.
